Take me to your leader
1950's Halloween Robots, originally uploaded by Neato Coolville.
Well friends, it's almost time for Halloween. For the modern young adult, it's an occasion to put on a stupid costume, get wildly drunk, and act like a fool because nobody will recognize you later.
Some girls like to use it as an opportunity to dress like a whore, thereby having a "costume" such as "slutty teacher," "sexy librarian," or "naughty cop." While technically a costume, I am much more impressed by people who have a creative or unusual costume.
This year, I have decided to "build" my own costume. I think it will be a fun craft project, and it will save me the trouble of patronizing a store where I can pay $70 for a lumberjack outfit with a flimsy plastic axe.
I love this picture of the kids dressed as robots. What a slice of life from the 50's!
Speaking of robots, on my trip to Seattle, I ran into an old friend at the Science Fiction Museum. They're remaking that movie, starring Mr. Sci Fi himself, Keanu Reeves. I'm pretty sure it will suck, but a boy can dream.
